Suspect Hides in Dumpster, But Officer Isn't Fooled

A 35-year-old Bremerton man was arrested Monday afternoon for violating a no-contact order after officers found him hiding in a Dumpster, according to Bremerton police reports.

An officer spotted the man talking to a 27-year-old woman around 4:30 p.m. in the area of Sixth Street and Park Avenue. The man suddenly ran off toward Warren Avenue, and so the officer went to talk to the 27-year-old.

The officer, checking a law enforcement database, found out there’s a no-contact order between the woman and a man, but the woman wouldn’t say if the order was with the man who ran off, the officer wrote. The officer then let the woman leave.

Shortly thereafter, the officer started looking for the man who ran off and soon found him — talking again to the 27-year-old, who was inside of a car in the parking lot of a Warren Avenue business.

The man then took off running again, and the officer chased him. He saw the man attempt to hide in a Dumpster. Officers removed the man and, after confirming he was violating the no contact order, took him to the Kitsap County jail on $10,000 bail.
